Just came from an old android, and decided to give the MS Phone a try. I picked up a Nokia 920 last night after reading great things about it, and I preferred all of the features it had over the 8X.
Everything about the phone is great except for 2 things...
a) While a bit large & heavier than my old 4" android (samsung captivate), I think I can live with the 920 in terms of size. However, the top & bottom edges are not rounded; the bottom corner digs into my hand when I try to hold it with one hand (which is most of the time). I like how HTC rounded all the 8X edges. Has anyone found a good thin soft bumper case that rounds the corners and takes off the 'edge'. The Nillkin cases looked cool except they don't solve my problem of covering up the corner edges. I don't want a massive otterbox-type case that adds more heft and size - just something to soften the edges and give it a small lip on the front when I need to set the phone on its front.
b) The audio jack produces a crackle-type sound when I plug my old-school cassette adapter for listening in my car. My previous android (and other phones prior) didn't have this issue. I don't have bluetooth in my car, so this is my best/only option for listening to audio - anyone else have issues in this area?
Basically, I want to avoid returning this to get an 8X (the 8X is $100 more, plus the $35 restocking fee, plus has fewer features), but I want to enjoy holding my phone when I use it. Help?
